A former Marine judge advocate and legal counsel to General Colin
Powell, James Terry explores the genesis of the United States
approach to terror violence and the legal foundation for the
nation's response to the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Terry
first reviews the entire spectrum of legal issues that arise before
offering creative and practical legal and political solutions to
counter terrorist activities. The author examines the development
of rules of engagement and their application in the terrorist
environment while differentiating the law of self-defense in this
environment from more traditional conflicts. He also addresses the
role of interrogation, and the line between harsh interrogation and
torture, and the jurisdictional claims that arise. This volume
examines a large number of topics related to the struggle and in a
remarkably concise exploration, makes them understandable to
experts in international law as well as those who do not have a
strong background in the field. This text provides a serious but
concise review of the legal issues in 20 interrelated chapters. All
constitutional law scholars and political scientists will greatly
benefit from reading this book. No other text offers such a
comprehensive or detailed review of the issues arising from the War
on Terror.
